Lunar Wrinkle Ridges and the Evolution of the Nearside Lithosphere

Thomas R. Watters

Summary: Wrinkle ridges are large and complex landforms on the Moon, primarily found in mare basalt. The displacement-length relationship of wrinkle ridge thrust faults does not differ significantly between mascon and non-mascon settings. This suggests that even in areas with thinner sequences of load inducing mare basalt, the elastic lithosphere can support the formation of wrinkle ridges.

Non-KREEP origin for Chang'e-5 basalts in the Procellarum KREEP Terrane

Heng-Ci Tian et al.

Summary: The study of basalt clasts from the PKT returned by Chang'e-5 mission reveals that these two-billion-year-old basalts are not derived from KREEP mantle source, but produced high abundances of rare-earth elements and thorium through low-degree partial melting and extensive fractional crystallization. This suggests that the KREEP association may not be a prerequisite for young mare volcanism, indicating a more sustained cooling history of the lunar interior to generate the Moon's youngest melts.
